Manufactured in the UK by one of the worlds leading suppliers of racing radiators, oil coolers, charge air coolers and motorsport fabrications these are fully functioning motor sport quality coolers, each pressure tested and built to perform at the highest level.

Built to the correct dimensions of an original cooler with end tanks cast using CAD scans from a genuine 74 item, these match the original Behr 23.014 cooler exactly in shape and dimensions both externally and internally. Complete with the correct oil pressure relief valve, internal spring and ball bearing and finished in the original Aluchrom 407 protective coating, I believe these are about as close as you can get to an original NOS item.

Available at GBP £2,350 + Shipping (+ VAT if applicable)

I never intended to start producing these coolers however having searched everywhere I concluded there is nothing available today that remotely resembles an original 74 RS/RSR cooler and with used items (with unknown cores) selling for £10K or more I set about trying to fabricate my own. I was fortunate to be guided and helped in the process and then stumbled across amazing luck enabling perfect end tanks to be cast and meeting brilliant professionals to help fabricate the end product ensuring the highest of quality and performance.
A few Porsche specialists have expressed an interest in these coolers and I think this is where most will end up with a number already spoken for, however I wanted to post them here first in case there's anyone, like me, that's in need of such a cooler.
This is a limited production run for a limited market however, once this batch has sold, I could produce more if there's enough interest and with the required commitments with a lead time of 5-6 months.

Thanks for looking.

Necessity is the mother on invention..........so my mother used to tell me over and over. Greta job Darren.

Awesome stuff Darren. I sooo wish the 73 RSR came with the same oil cooler, so I could use one on my replica.... shame :(
The 73 RSR oil cooler had similar dimensions in width (~63cm) and depth (10.8cm / 4') but was only 4' high, whereas I believe your 74+ cooler is much higher.
May be good to specify the exact height with and without the bracket for comparison? GLWS!

Thanks Patrick, should have included height pics.....

....similar but taller as you say and with oil in/out pipes at the end on the 73 RSR as opposed to the rear on this one. I believe this is much closer to the 934/935 coolers that followed. Brackets would never be an issue as they can simply be cut off and re-welded.

Cheers,

What do you do if you want to order one ? Any chance you will make one for the 1973 RSR ? Have you actually got one made yet ? Pay with PayPal ?

Hi Mike,

I've had an initial batch of 10 made of what you see above, these are the actual cooler. Just let me know if you'd like one and we can go from there although I'd prefer a bank transfer please.

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to produce 73 RSR coolers.

If you do, looks like you'd have two buyers already :)

I’m in for one. My 73 RSR Outlaw has an original 3.0 cooler custom fitted, I will put it aside or have a perfect fitting replacement. G

Three. I’d buy a ‘73 too…

Many thanks Gordon, those are neat brackets you've fabricated for a 73 fitment.

I've replied to your PM and will be in touch soon.

Cheers,
